Métraux, Jean-Pierre Serrano, Mario Torres, Martha Coluccia, Fania L'Haridon, Floriane 2014-05-26 The cuticle provides a physical barrier against water loss and protects against irradiation, xenobiotics and pathogens. Components of the cuticle are perceived by invading fungi and activate developmental processes during pathogenesis. In addition, cuticle alterations of various types induce a syndrome of reactions that often results in resistance to necrotrophs. This article reviews the current knowledge on the role of the cuticle in relation to the perception of pathogens and activation of defenses. application/pdf https://folia.unifr.ch/global/documents/303798 https://folia.unifr.ch/documents/303798/files/met_cpd.pdf eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.3389/fpls.2014.00274 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess License undefined Frontiers in Plant Science. - 2014, vol. 5, p. 274 Arabidopsis innate immunity Botrytis cinerea Resistance cuticle cutin monomers wax ROS info:eu-repo/classification/udc/57 The cuticle and plant defense to pathogens http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
